Job Description

Job Description

Our organization is on the lookout for a talented and personable full-time thoracic surgeon to join the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at a prominent medical facility in Erie, PA.

The Division of Thoracic and Foregut Surgery is eager to welcome an early to mid-career surgeon who has a keen interest and expertise in minimally invasive and robotic thoracic procedures. This position is part of a well-established general thoracic practice at our facility. Ideal candidates in the early stages of their careers would be recent graduates (within the last 1-2 years) from reputable general thoracic residency programs that include experience in pulmonary and foregut surgery. However, we are also open to considering graduates from non-tracked cardiothoracic programs who come with strong recommendations. Mid-career applicants should demonstrate proficiency in minimally invasive techniques, particularly with robotic surgery.

The role is based at a 423-bed hospital that provides a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services. This facility serves as a regional referral center and is recognized as a Level II Trauma Center. The thoracic oncology practice operates in collaboration with the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. The successful candidate will join a well-established minimally invasive thoracic surgery team, equipped with advanced technologies such as the da Vinci Xi system and Monarch robotic bronchoscopy. The existing practice also handles a significant volume of minimally invasive benign esophageal surgeries.

The preferred candidate will be in the early to mid-stage of their career, possessing experience in minimally invasive and robotic techniques. New graduates with outstanding credentials and references will also be taken into account. Responsibilities will encompass all facets of general thoracic surgery, with a particular focus on thoracic oncology. A competitive salary will be offered, aligned with MGMA standards.
